Federal law allows up until the age of majority, for the parent to file, and one year pass that for the child to file as an adult. Florida retroactive limitation is two years, but Judge David Grey Ross, Commissioner of the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement opposes the practice and many judges are not refusing these motions as they frequently are done to men who never knew they had a child. In those cases where it is being allowed, there's a growth in lawsuits against the mothers for paternity fraud in not notifying them they had a child.

When a child goes to college do you still have to pay child support in Florida?

In the state of Florida, child support can end when the child reaches the age of emancipation, which is 18 years old in Florida, unless the child support order indicates otherwise. You should check your child support order if there is a statement indicating when support payments end. Check with the Clerk of Courts in the county where the child support order was entered to get a copy of your support order. You can have your child support payments terminated by applying with the Florida DOR or by court order through the modification process.

If there is a Florida court decision for child support and the obligated parent moves out of state... Is the parent still obligated to pay child support once having left Florida?

Yes. There is no federal law regarding child support so states honor each other's orders regarding child support. If you fail to make payments, Florida will show you as deliquent on child support. The state where you have moved will honor a request for a judgment against you or garnish your wages to pay the support obligations. You must continue to pay your obligations to the Florida court.
